Description
As easy as ABC
The whole country is in a state of panic.
There is a killer on the loose, growing more confident with each successive execution - Alice Ascher in Andover, Betty Barnard in Bexhill, Sir Carmichael Clarke in Churston - laying a trail of deliberate clues to haunt the world's greatest detective, Hercule Poirot.
Which might just be the killer's first mistake...
About the Author
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
